I honestly didn’t expect much when making a booking. It was dirt cheap but the apartment was surprisingly both clean and spacious!! Loved everything about the place. There are only a few things:
1. Apartment is right at the stairway of the building, so it does get a little scary at night as the lights to the stairs leading to the roof is not switched on, and the door to the stairway is left wide open. Neighbourhood is overall pretty safe, there are nice security guards and receptionists, however, they don’t speak English. Not to worry though, because Patchaya remains easily contactable.
2. Apartment is a bit of a walk to the MRT but it’s a very straightforward path to take, so it’s still pretty easy! Location is in a more chinese area, so don’t expect to find Thai food in the area.
3. I did spend a lot of time in the apartment though, and the stove doesn’t work so you won’t be able to cook. But there’s a 7-11 very nearby, or the chicken rice recommended by the host (pretty good!!) so not to worry!
There’s also a night market if you walk a little further down, so it’s good if you’re a night owl.
If you’re looking for a home in Bangkok, this is the place. Especially for long stays, because you’ll get really comfortable here! Oh, owner does this really thoughtful thing - she left a bunch of clean towels and pillows in the cupboard, in case you want to change them during your stay. Really really considerate. Thank you again!
